Third-party reviews

What customers like about Yaber L1 Pro

  • At 0.86 kg it is easy to carry between rooms.
  • A width of 193 mm and height of 80 mm fit a shelf or small desk.
  • Projects up to 200 inch with a minimum throw of 1 m.
  • HDR10 and a 20000:1 contrast rating give dark scenes depth.
  • AirPlay and Miracast share a phone or laptop screen.
  • Ceiling projection is supported.

What customers don't like about Yaber L1 Pro

  • 300 ANSI lumens is dim, so it needs a dark room.
  • The 8 W speaker is too quiet for a room full of people.
  • One HDMI port means a second device needs a switch.
  • No motorized zoom, so you move the projector to change the picture size.
  • One USB port limits how many drives or sticks you can use at once.

Verdict

Small and light, the Yaber L1 Pro weighs 0.86 kg and measures 193 mm wide. It is 80 mm tall, so it fits on a bookshelf or a dorm desk. HDR10 is supported and the contrast rating is 20000:1, which gives dark scenes good depth. It can project up to 200 inch, and it can be ceiling-mounted. The light is rated for 30000 hours, and AirPlay and Miracast let you share from a phone or laptop. Brightness is the main limit: 300 ANSI lumens is dim, so the picture needs a dark room. The 8 W speaker is small, so a separate speaker or headphones will help. It suits a student or someone who wants a compact projector for films in a dark bedroom, not a bright lounge.
